On June 29, one of the money lenders came to the victim demanding money. Sudam then brought a bottle of poison and consumed it in front of them, the official said. Soon after the incident, he was rushed to a state-run hospital by the police. He is now out of danger and undergoing treatment there, police said. "We are waiting for the report from tehsildar. If the report says that the private money lender was responsible for the farmer to take the extreme step, then we will register an offence under relevant sections against him," the police official said.
